Book List: Reducing Clutter

by Mandi on January 28, 2011

As we kick off the new year (although I guess it’s not too new anymore…), I wanted to share some book recommendations for your reading list this year. These are books that I’ve read, are on my to-read list or come highly recommended from others.

Out of the nine books listed below, I’ve had the privilege of working with seven of the authors in some capacity or another — and I consider several of them friends — so it’s pretty cool to see them all in one place. Since Life Your Way began as Organizing Your Way more than two years ago, and part of my focus has always been on decluttering, it’s no wonder that this list is the one that I’m most excited to share!

This looks like a great list of books. I especially thought the Clutter Rehab book looked interesting. Thank you for sharing this list.

That is one I haven’t read (yet — it’s on my list to review in the coming
weeks!), but I do know Laura, and I don’t have any doubt that it’s full of
practical advice you can easily put into practice!

I’m trying to be so good! One of my biggest clutter challenges is BOOKS! I just got rid of probably 200 or more, and I am so dying to buy some of these, especially, ironically, the 100 Thing Challenge! And I just met Tsh and really want her book too!
I broke down at Blissdom and bought Unmarketing AND The Gifts of Imperfection!
I really need to start going to the library again!

This is the #1 reason that I love my Kindle & iPad. I still own close to 300
books, but I only have one shelf of actually paper books that I’m unwilling
to part with. The rest are digital, and there’s so much less clutter that
way! (Of course, that’s not counting kids books, which I refuse to consider
clutter anyway!)

Thanks Mandie for including our book on your list as well! It’s always a thrill to see something you poured your heart & soul into actually make its way out into the great wide world. Would love to hear what you think!
